Original Abstract Submitted

An image is divided into rectangular regions each including at least one block row, and the image is divided into rectangular slices or slices to be processed in raster order. In a case where the image is divided into the rectangular slices, based on first information for specifying a rectangular region to be processed first and second information for specifying a rectangular region to be processed last, the rectangular regions in the rectangular slice is specified. Based on the number of blocks in a vertical direction in each of the specified rectangular regions, the number of pieces of information for specifying a start position of coded data of the block row in the rectangular slice is specified. A bitstream in which at least the pieces of information, the first and second information, and the coded data are multiplexed is generated.
